And there I was thinking communists promoted sharing, and equality. H there maybe some hope for you yet.
You mean stealing.

I’m kidding. Real communists leaders promote sharing and equality, but they don’t really believe in it. Only the followers believe the egalitarian lie.
I don’t particularly understand this statement, , but the technology sure sounds promising. “Skoda explained that the Teplator was similar in size to “mini” nuclear research reactors already operating in major European cities such as Vienna, Prague and Munich but much simpler in terms of technology and design because it “only” generated heat. “The main problem with these small nuclear reactors is that they generate electricity, just like the larger nuclear power plants, and this is very expensive,” he said.” Does he mean static electricty? Don’t all reactors create electricity by producing heat, which heats water into steam and turns a turbine?
Its still problematic in that it relies on spent fuel rods (very toxic fuel that must be stockpiled), and doesnt solve the issue of all the other toxic waste produced to create, transport or store the fuel, which is the vast majority of toxicwaste (though much less toxic). It also remains to be seen how cost effective it is, and if its implementable on a large scale.
The salt fision reactors (i think?) also seem to be very promising. Im not against nuclear, im just more pro energy that doesnt require or put off harmful compounds.
The border. Way to go.
Dropping sanctions on Iran, red flag provisions, and Harris ignoring the border will turn this around… The thread title is stuningly misleading

My guess would be the author doesn’t have a lot of
Biden friends and was going to write something like this even if Biden acted just like Trump at this time in but I digress. I think that even more when he throws in the telling hints towards “I’ll be having none of what Dems offer even pieces of legislation that Republican voters support that we all vote against anyways. Biden’s not even in charge!!!
Biden’s high approval ratings would suggest at the present moment more people are happier with what he’s doing than aren’t. That makes the point about policies seem a bit odd. I’m not saying he hasn’t done multiple things that I wish he would or wouldn’t but that’s standard fare unless I’m the one in charge. I would definitely agree it seems like he doesn’t know what he wants on the border no doubt.
His average approval rating (depending on where you started) is roughly 12-16 points higher than Trump’s was at this time. The author can hammer Biden for everything under the sun if he wants. But popularity simply isn’t so.
What’s weird about the enthusiasm type part is how many people in general are just happy to have a break from it all after four years of a brat in the office? Yeah things are fairly “quiet” I suppose on somethings. But that used to somewhat be the norm for most people. It almost couldn’t be the case when at best every other day featured a “can you believe a grown man we voted into our highest office said/did that?!”
But the cult has some funny moments still.

That’s a hit piece. Read through it and basically will ignore anything that person writes if everything else they put up is like that.
The border has been a massive problem for ages. And it was starting to swell before Biden even got in office. It’s too porous. But none of that is due to Biden specifically, because all of this existed before him. I don’t have high hopes for Harris where literally every president (and yes I know she’s VP) before has failed, but she isn’t ignoring the border yet. There are a lot of areas to get up to speed on.
The border is a massive problem that hasn’t been solved in generations. Laying it at Biden’s feet is dumb.
You must not have read the whole article.
Author also talks Covid, DC, Keystone, and Iran.
Frankly there were 170,000 illegal border crossing last month alone.
When does that equal disaster rather than hit piece in your view?
@H_factor I’m not aware of conservatives holding Biden in some high esteem.
He is abruptly trying to EO one of the most leftwing platforms in the world.
You better sit down - l would rather have Obama at this point.
Not joking
Oh the border is a Biden disaster at this point.

This doesn’t seem like a strong point to hit Biden on compared to his predecessor. I mean it’s fine but he’s Hank Aaron compared to a little league kid in terms of how he’s reacting to Covid vs Trump right?
This bothers me. Would we be in this position if his predecessor hadn’t convinced rabid people to attempt a coup? I mean I can definitely buy it’s gone on too long or whatever arguments. It’s just weird from the side that is absolutely responsible for the response in the first place. Biden wasn’t President when DC went like that.
I don’t feel I know enough about this to have a strong stance. I did have to laugh at the gas prices stuff. Gas started rising as the economy started opening. Did they think this wasn’t going to happen under Trump? I thought Republicans understood markets?
I think the border is by far the area I would hit him the most at. They don’t seem to have any type of plan.
Oh I’m not either at least not in massive numbers. Merely pointing out that saying his policies aren’t popular isn’t very accurate. Republicans were in favor of what will be by far the most substantial (in terms of scope) piece of legislation in Biden’s first year. Of course no Republicans voted for it we’ve seen that they don’t really give a shit about what their voters want. A Dems in office so it’s time to oppose everything no matter what it is.
I would as well. Joe would have been better when he was younger. Obama would have got through 4 or 8 years one would think health wise. I’m wishing him the best but it’s hard for me to see him being President 7 years from now even if he wins another term.

Oddly enough the most revered Republican President in modern history had this to say about the border.
“Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit,” he said. “And then while they’re working and earning here, they pay taxes here. And when they want to go back they can go back.”
The border, he said, should be open “both ways” – and border security policy should take into account the economic challenges facing Mexico.
That’s on top of the amnesty bill which of course was massive.

I did, I just didn’t want to make my post longer by talking about all the topics. There’s so much wrong with the way that article is written I could go practically paragraph by paragraph over the entire thing. Frankly don’t want to do that as that’s way too much freaking effort for no return.
It’s red meat for a rabid base, it’s not any sort of attempt at reasoned criticism (of which there is plenty to be had). It’s utter trash.
Yeah, let’s talk about that. Most of this 100K businesses closed for good closed on Trump’s watch, not Biden’s. Most of the fuckups with the PPP implementation, the response in general on a logistical and messaging level were Trump’s not Biden’s.
Oh yes, 6.2% unemployment is half what it was last year, but it’s STILL BIDEN’S FAULT because it’s not 3%. Let’s leave aside the fact that this was long predicted to be a K shaped recovery (as in before Biden was in office), which by DEFINITION means employment and economic numbers aren’t going to turn around as fast as they crashed. But yeah obviously Biden’s fault despite the fact he’s been in office only like 80 days. Guess who was making excuses for failures years into his administration based on his predecessor? Trump. Double standard much? Obviously.
Come the fuck on. No honest analysis would do that shit.
Let’s also leave aside the asinine comment about “Americans trying to keep their businesses afloat competing for jobs with illegal immigrants”. Because BUSINESS OWNERS are not the people who will be competing against illegals on a population scale… Many of them will be hiring illegals themselves. You can argue that jobs should better go to citizens, but guess what? That business owner is benefitting not competing.
You can argue the Iran deal was terrible (I did). You can also argue that Saudi Arabia is a more deserving target of our ire and opposition than Iran.
You can also argue that the fact that the US pulled out unilaterally and nobody else did means the sanctions would not have been reinstalled worldwide because the other parties to the deal were still in it. Hence our bluff was called and leverage lost, and we are better having an active piece of the issue now. It’s a complicated issue, but she doesn’t approach it like one.
Regardless, considering that Biden was part of putting the deal together in the first place, clearly most people who voted for him would consider the fact that he would re-enter it when he was elected. So yes, many DID in fact vote for him knowing he might do that.
DC got a whopping two sentences, but fine. I called DC’s situation right after the riot occurred. I said it was going to be sad and a perfect propaganda opportunity for our adversaries. I said it was going to be a sad commentary on things here.
But now the author–First, it’s not a militarized zone in the sense that phrase should be used - Natl Guard is not active duty, and their mandate is exactly what they are doing. Even though it’s shitty and a sad commentary and all the rest, this is basically one of the functions of the NG. It’s not active duty soldiers. Second, that was going to be the case as long as ANYONE not named Trump won the election after the riots. That’s not “Oh Biden is such an evil guy, he’s deliberately militarizing DC”. The fact is this result was inevitable just like all the losses of freedoms after 9/11.
But sure, I agree it’s sad and pathetic. I just don’t agree it’s “Biden’s fault” by virtue of anything other than winning the election fairly.
Keystone - a dumbass move I believe I have already criticized after the first news of it. But again, many people who voted for Biden probably knew he would reconsider it. Not necessarily that he would ax it, but that he would be more critical.
The article is trash. I don’t want to spend hours going through it line by line, but I could. And the thing is that I agree with the criticism of Keystone and DC. That doesn’t make the thing any less disingenuous or any more worthwhile as a whole, honest critical analysis. The whole thing reeks of “Blame everything on Biden”, which is blatant bullshit.
Since before Biden. It IS a disaster. It’s just not all Biden’s fault. It’s been a disaster for decades. And let’s not forget those numbers in the article might be squishy. At least in terms of how “drastically worse” Biden is supposedly.
No, Biden is not doing great on the border. But these problems existed before him, during Trump, before Trump, all the way back decades.

Having a real chuckle at Biden’s plan to globalise corporate tax rates.
Sure chaps, all us non-US countries are happy to chop off our limbs to help you recoup tax receipts you lost because we undercut you.
I’m sure Ireland will be quite happy to return to the 3rd world to ensure that the USA can avoid the economic impact of tax arbitrage.
